Lori Blum

Artist Lori Blum has more than 15 years experience in the decorative pillow business. Inspired by her two-year-old labradoodle, Charlie, and her recently adopted Manx cat, Scout, she decided to launch a line of handmade, eco-friendly, pet-themed pillows.

She started by creating the designs for her own home, then "family and friends began to ask about custom pillow featuring their pets' names," she says.

Now the collection includes many styles to celebrate man's best friends. "Charlie and Scout have since asked for royalties," she jokes.

Great unique keepsake gift. Gift giver spelled babies name wrong on the gift and I called uncommon goods to ask if they could do anything and they sent us a new gift with the correct spelling. Very impressive! I had never heard of uncommon goods but plan to order from them now based on the quality of the item and the customer service I experienced!

This is the second personalized pillow I've purchased for friends of mine who have just had their second child. The first pillow was such a surprise for them and a huge hit - the parents love it and every asked about it.

As soon as the second baby was born I was gathering all the vital statistics for this pillow. Once more it's the biggest success you can imagine! The speed of getting something like this personalized and made is very fast and the quality is great. If baby number three arrives, there will be one more pillow too!

This was the third birth announcement pillow that I have purchased in the last two years as gifts. First was pink, second purple and the third green. The Green pillow is NOT even close to the display picture of lime green. It's more of a dark forest green. Very misleading, especially when you're expecting a lighter version of green. My gift was for a male child, so I can live with it However,had I purchased for a baby girl I would've been very disappointed. Please work on getting this color correct in your display advertising.

Made a wonderful gift for 1st time parents. They loved it. Can only order after the baby arrives due to the "statistics" needed. So doesn't really make it a baby shower gift. Gave it to my Godson's first son.

The product is great, but I purchased this as a gift for a baby girl - online, the green color looks different, so based on that, I went with the green. When it arrived, the color is darker than expected which I am very disappointed about but because this is a personalized baby gift, it cannot be returned. I have to send it anyway. If I had known the green was going to be darker, I would have gone with the pink. I am really upset that I didn't order pink to begin with (if only). I am worried that the recipient now won't love this gift because the color isn't so great!

I purchased one of these when my brother had his first child in 2013 but have never seen it. However, since my brother's family said they liked it so much, I purchased another for my sister's new baby recently. I just visited and was particularly pleased with the quality and simplicity of the product - which they keep on display in their living room. Definitely my go-to baby gift from here on.

Cute but does not appear to be "hand-made" to give it a quality look. too expensive but idea is cute

alenaVote: Thumbs down!

too pricey and kind of tacky.

HELENVote: Thumbs up!

Cute ides - but it would be better in my opinion if it was on something that is framed. It would last longer.

Izzy

too expensive for me...absolutely love the idea and the orientation of it

KJVote: Thumbs down!

Great idea - historical font et al. Way too much for even custom made pillow.

RebeccaVote: Thumbs up!

great idea, but way too expensive for a pillow!

LauraVote: Thumbs up!

cute idea---can absolutely see as part of room decor

JanaVote: Thumbs up!

I can never remember my child's exact length/weight/time of birth. This would be a great reminder.

susanVote: Thumbs up!

Cute idea, but the girl's pillow would be cuter if some lace were added around the edges.

PeggyVote: Thumbs down!

I find the cost of "throw" pillows to be rediculously overpriced no matter what they have on them. It's only 2 squares and some stuffing that could be put together by anyone.

jessicaVote: Thumbs down!

super cute.....but way too expensive

SueVote: Thumbs up!

I like it but think it's too expensive. $80 is better spent on diapers!

RobynVote: Thumbs up!

Cute, but only if they can come in custom colors. I do not plan on blue for boy/pink for girl color restrictions. Otherwise, great gift idea!

GraceVote: Thumbs up!

Neat idea, and fashionable too, but WAY too expensive.

BrandiVote: Thumbs up!

Very cute and worth gifting, but too expensive. I would pay (maybe) $50 for something like this...especially since I think I could get it made cheaper locally.

KellyVote: Thumbs down!

Cute but $80? Wow that's expensive!

SDChickyVote: Thumbs down!

Price is too high!

LinaVote: Thumbs up!

I absolutely love these pillows. Very cute and clever.

KimberleyVote: Thumbs up!

Very cute.

LianeVote: Thumbs down!

Way over-priced.

PattiVote: Thumbs down!

Cute idea - too pricey.

Carol LeeVote: Thumbs down!

Cute idea but not for long periods of time. Could fade get worn and not easy to store.

JenniferVote: Thumbs up!

Need to have them available in a few other colors for those who are adverse to stereotypic pink and blue

SarahVote: Thumbs down!

It's way too expensive and a little tacky. I'm just having a hard time thinking of who would like this or where you would put it... maybe in a baby's room, but cribs aren't supposed to have pillows.

Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator

Thanks for the feedback, Sarah! We think this pillow would look cute on a rocking chair in babies room, or even on display with other keepsakes (baby booties, favorite teddy bear) on a shelf. You could also use it as decoration in a crib, but it should be removed when the crib is in use.

AngelaVote: Thumbs up!

This is cute and practical!

StephanieVote: Thumbs up!

LOVE it! Although, I'm kind of hesitant about spending 80.00 for one pillow.

k9rescue9Vote: Thumbs up!

Very cute idea

Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator

Thanks for the question, Tajauna! We are considering this item with the font as shown. What other fonts would you like to see?

KATHVote: Thumbs up!

Bit expensive

MeganVote: Thumbs up!

I like it but think its overpriced

KellyVote: Thumbs up!

If the materials were recycled and you had more variety of colors/materials I could justify the cost. If it were priced closer to 55.

JessicaVote: Thumbs up!

Love it! Wish it came in more colors. I would buy red!

CourtenayVote: Thumbs down!

Expensive for a pillow that will get dirty and have to be thrown away

Tajuana

I would love to see the font in script.

ElizabethVote: Thumbs down!

I think the novelty of this would wear off quite soon!

TessVote: Thumbs up!

Might be a bit high-priced, but a VERY cute idea!

JacquelynnVote: Thumbs up!

Quite clever!

MalloryVote: Thumbs up!

Very Very Cute!! Not something I've seen before.

Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator.

Script would look nice. Thanks for the feedback, Tajuana! And thanks to all of our voters for your great comments and suggestions!

ElizabethVote: Thumbs up!

Cute idea. Too expemsive for one pillow. Would be better looking if made in different styles and colors or could be custom done to match nursery colors. Then the price might be justified.

ellenVote: Thumbs up!

Fabulous forever gift!

KimberlyVote: Thumbs down!

The price is way too high on this item. It's cute though.

JanVote: Thumbs up!

I like this a lot more than needlepoint or an embroidered blanket.

angelaVote: Thumbs down!

80 $ wow

ChristinaVote: Thumbs down!

Expensive! And other than the writing, not very one-of-a-kind.

kimVote: Thumbs up!

Great idea but just too expensive.

jasonVote: Thumbs down!

80 bucks? golly.. thats pricey.. even if its customized

amyVote: Thumbs up!

Cute idea for a baby gift. Haven't seen elsewhere.

BarbaraVote: Thumbs up!

Agree with Christine - offer for Wedding and Graduations, and with Stephanie - too pricey!

WendyVote: Thumbs up!

Thumbs up IF...it came in more sophisticateed colors like black and cream, the font was more stylized, maybe distressed. Pink and blue can only be used in a baby room for a couple years...and then what?? Also, too expensive! Love that it's handmade in New York though.

Christine Vote: Thumbs down!

cute idea, but WAY too expensive for a pillow.

ElisabethVote: Thumbs up!

Great idea but seems too expensive.

JaneVote: Thumbs down!

Too expensive for the size. You could have the same thing screen printed and sewn into a pillow for less than half. I do love the font though and the idea, but I wouldn't buy this.

MichelleVote: Thumbs down!

When I saw these I thought they were fantastic!...but not $80 worth of fantastic.
